‘Facing the Chicago Bears to start the preseason, many of the aspects Tylan Grable needed development in flashed on tape. He needed more power to his punches and better placement, he lunged in both pass protection and the run game, and he had inconsistency in his set angles. But he improved from week 1 vs the Bears, to week 2 vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, and continued that improvement in the Bills preseason finale in week 3 vs the Carolina Panthers.’

‘”It’s been cool,” Andreessen told reporters after the Panthers game on Saturday. “I’ve been working my whole life for this. I’ve sacrificed a lot of time towards football, and not just me, but my family as well. It’s been a blessing, and hopefully it continues.”‘
Erie County offering chance to invest in new Bills stadium with ‘Bills Bonds’

Josh Reed’s Bills 53-player roster projection
‘Ben DiNucci showed me enough in two preseason games to believe he can be a good bridge at backup QB to start the season. It was difficult to keep Zach Davidson off the list. I really wanted to go with four tight ends and just five receivers, but I don’t think the Bills will do that.’

Bills analysis: A former practice-squad receiver has made a strong case to make the Week 1 roster
‘The 6-foot-4 Shavers capped a strong spring and summer by making two catches in the Bills’ 31-26 exhibition loss to the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. He also should have had an 18-yard touchdown after he got wide open in the end zone with a nifty move against Panthers cornerback Dicaprio Bootle. But quarterback Ben DiNucci overthrew him.’
Jay Skurski: Projecting the Bills’ 53-man roster as the preseason ends, cutdown day looms
‘This is among the hardest positions to project right now. Jonathan has developed on special teams. Combined with his pass-rushing ability, that should earn him a roster spot. Solomon is a fifth-round pick whom the Bills won’t want to expose to waivers. Toohill simply missed too much time during training camp because of injury to make enough of a positive impression.’
